Functional Genomics

Question 1

Functional Genomics

Answer 1

Making use of the vast amount of genomic data that is available in order to describe gene, and protein, functions and interactions.

Question 2

Functional Genomics uses a “Gene-by-Gene” approach or a “Genome-Wide” approach?

Answer 2

Genome-Wide

Question 3

Functional Genomics focuses on “dynamic aspects” (e.g. gene transcription, translation, and protein–protein interactions) or “statics aspects” (e.g. DNA sequence or structures)?

Answer 3

Dynamic Aspects (e.g. gene transcription, translation, and protein–protein interactions)

Question 4

What type of tool is necessary for Functional Genomics?

Answer 4

Gene Disruption Tools: RNAi libraries, deletion libraries
